Werewolf

About This Movie

Werewolf (2017) presents this raw glimpse into the lives of Blaise and Nessa, two outcast methadone users navigating their small-town existence with a rusty lawnmower in tow. The film is steeped in a gritty realism that really captures the weight of their struggles and aspirations. It’s not your typical drama; the pacing gives you a sense of the suffocating routine they’re trapped in, while the performances are just so real—almost documentary-like at times. Practical effects and a muted color palette enhance the bleak atmosphere. It’s distinctive in its exploration of addiction and dreams, encapsulating the tension between hope and despair. You feel for them, even as their dreams feel like they're always just out of reach.
